Language of computers questions

What is machine language and how is it difference from human language?

Machine language is the language that a computer or machine uses to understand a certain code that they are able to understand by having a programmer imputing the codes. An example of a machine code is either having a 0 or 1 in the older generation computers. The machine language is different from our language because only machines are able to get it and it involves numbers a specifics codes the mean different things, or human language is just words that we put in a sentence which able us to communicate to each other. The programming language is what we call the half human, half machine in which the computer helps translate a message to help the programmer understand the message.

Who was the first computer programmer?

The first computer programmer is named Ada Lovelace who is a female.


What did he/she created? Explain that in detail.

Ada created the first programmable computer in which she based her ideas from Charles Babbage who was the first one to actually think about having a programmable computer. He made this Analytical Engine which was the first step of a programmer which he couldn't be able to finish because of many issues, so Ada took Babbages notes and develop the system by adding more possibilities like methods to complete the program which made her the first perfect programmer.
